Fantasy Football: Contract Year Players – Part 2

Mike Blewitt, Staff WriterJuly 1, 2014

Ah, the contract year. It’s
the beacon of hope for NFL players pining for recognition and a
chance at long-term security to take them through the next phase of
their careers. Many players attempt to take advantage of this
potential lottery ticket and most fail to deliver.

But, there’s always a few who cash in and we’ll frame the select
few to keep an eye on in the 2014 season. We will focus on players
who are eligible to become free agents next spring even though
several have been locked up so their teams didn’t have to take the
risk of competition from other teams – hello, Colin Kaepernick,
Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman!

We’re not predicting paydays or franchise tags, just those
players who could see a bump in production for our beloved (or
self-loathed) Fantasy teams. In Part One, we looked at the QBs, RBs and TEs. In
Part Two below, we are focusing exclusively on the monster wide
receiver class of 2015.
